Fans of The Creative Assembly’s Total War series can now engage in much rejoicing: the demo for the series’ latest, Empire: Total War, has landed for PC players. It’s a Steam exclusive, so those who want to test drive the turn-based strategic take on 18th Century warfare will have to get signed in to the digital distribution service.

The demo gives players the chance to play as “The Creative Assembly’s own ‘home’ side” – the British – in the Battle of Brandywine Creek and the Battle of Lagos, taking on the American Army and the French Navy.

{ad}The full game, like the demo, will be available over Steam when it arrives on March 4th.
